I used to run SLI 970's but I hit a tight spot with bills and had to let them go two months ago. So I've been using the MotherBoard to game which sucks cause I can play anything. In exchange I was thinking of getting the EVGA GeForce GTX 960 4GB FTW ACX 2.0+ with Back Plate just to tie me over till I get my GTX 980ti in three months. What you guys think will that GPU go good with the rest of my gear? I have a Mid Tower Case as well and I game at 1080p.


Was told the Gigabyte AMD R9 380 256 Bit GDDR5 4GB was better than the EVGA GTX 960 FTW

Yeah that should tide you over. Sorry for the bad luck but you'll love 980 ti...almost as fast as sli 970's but you can always sli the ti later.

380 beats out a stock 960 but only by 5-8 fps or even on others, not sure on overclock numbers though with 960. Oc does help several nvidia cards outperform amd so it may in this case too.

The GTX 960 I was going to buy was the FTW OC version which is Over clocked to the max by the manufacturer, And I have no idea how to Overclock a GPU so the R9380 would remain stock setting. But think you for your Feedback helps my choice in which to buy
